Eliza

"You lie!" ~ She hisses, her eyes flaring in fury ~ "My father is a good man. He never mistreats anyone..." ~ Yet uncertainty clouds her brow, she falters before the mage's incredulous stare.

Dalben

"...in front of you, I suppose I should add." ~ The dry reply does more damage than a hearty scolding would ~ "Yet you obviously do not know about this. With good reason... he never revealed the truth to you. I doubt that he ever would." ~ His gaze gradually turns tender as he perceives her expression of misery ~ "But now that the truth is out... you must make a choice, my child. Do you stay by these... dare I say it... friends? Or do you continue to bide by your father's orders?"

Eliza

"Stop this! I don't want to hear it! I don't have to hear it!" ~ She cries, cupping her ears desperately and ignoring the alarm in ther companions' eyes ~ Closing her eyes, she feels her mind in a merciless whirl as she tries to sort her feelings amidst the turbulence ~ Father is a murderer! Does he wish to murder me as well? Have I been wrong all this while? Who do I follow now?!

Sorsha

"So... I am indeed Elena..." ~ She murmurs, the delicious thrill of discovery coursing through her frail body ~ "Galadria, I... I am Elena." ~ Bewilderment replaces the excitement ~ "But I have grown so used to being called Sorsha... does it matter what I am called? Had I better not remain as Sorsha?"

Dalben

His lips twitch slightly at the corners, before he gestures for the others to make haste ~ "Eliza's father seems to have hired a group of thugs to take out the group, including Justin..." ~ Catching Sorsha's stiffening look ~ "My dear, we'll have to talk about Justin another day... tis time to move on." ~ Turning to Galadria ~ "Please, my lady, lead on. You are the ideal person to do so."

Jaime

"Excuse me, sir...but ...Well, we chased down some assasins that were working for a dude named Bazguur...and now, he has been sending his legions after us to slay us. What of that?"

Larry_OHF · 01-30-2002, 09:06 PM

Raymond

"AAHHHH!" Raymond screams, as he had not heard Isaura sneakig up on him, thus he jumped and half way tried to claw his way through the barn wall to escape before he realized what had happened. "I...I did not hear you enter...I...~sniff~ I must be allergic to straw! Hehe..I...guess I should not be in here, eh?" ~sniff~

OOC>> As Larry would say [img]graemlins/hidesbehindsofa.gif[/img] IC>>
GALADRIA (As she listens to this tale of treachery and murder unfolding, her heart becomes hot with indignation. Her little friend, whom she befriended out of whim and motherliness is indeed a princess unaware. She remember's her father's final words to her,"do your duty, always." This, then, was her appointed task, and all her other adventures mere rehearsals.) (to Dalben) "Revered gentleman, if I can play a part in righting this wrong, I should be failing my oath. I conceive that it is my plain duty to back Sorsha in her bid for the throne. Tell me, what must I do? Whither shall we wend? Where lie our enemies strengths?" (to Eliza) "Know that I see the struggle in you, between the duty you owe your father and the plain right. I shall watch you, but I hope that you see where your conscience lead you."

OOC>>>

Last post for now, folks... I am really tied up with RL [img]tongue.gif[/img]

IC>>>
Dalben

His onyx black eyes meet those of his questioners, and he shakes his head somewhat sympathetically at the group ~ "I know, tis hard for you to cope with this tale..." ~ Jerks his head towards Eliza ~ "... especially that one there."

Holding his quarterstaff with both hands, he continues in a more urgent tone ~ "Yes, the thieves are heading this way and more from Cedric's men will swarm around us if we tarry." ~ Gesturing for the group to start moving ~ "As for your question, m'lady..." ~ Muttering as they now proceed briskly on their way ~ "... no, now is not the right time to bring Elena back to the throne... besides..." ~ Glancing at the apprehensive Sorsha ~ "... she might not like it there... who knows? The decision is ultimately hers."

Sorsha

Stumbling on blindly, her mind protests against further thought, though the guilt engulfing her soul is getting quite unbearable ~ They may all die... because of me... ~ Hastily, she brushes her hands against her watery eyes and tries to keep up with the group.

Eliza

This twist of Fate is surely a mockery of all the simplicity of life I had thought I was surrounded by... ~ Lips tightly pressed, she ignores all attempts at conversation directed at her, her face stony in expression ~ Seems that I'll have to take each step as it comes... ~ Angrily plucks a twig off a bush and hurls it vehemently onto the soft earth.

Isaura

She alternates between staring at him and at her shoes, her icy hands quite frozen and immobile ~ What should I say?... What should I do?... ~ Her mind is completely blank as she feels the gaze of Raymond and the stammering comforts her a little.

OOC>>> Okay, roleplay for me, I am off for now...

GALADRIA "Aye good sir, I know it well. She is not strong, that one, but good rulers have been made of less promising material. But if the way of justice lie that road, should we not pursue it? Or have we an alternate plan to discuss?"

OC>>>Now she leaves me to it...right at the juicy part...hmmm...

"Isa..Isaura...I...I am ....................
......
..scared. I mean...I am a farmer, a nobody...and...and...and then you came along...and....well...I...I...I like myself, now. I mean...well, what I am trying to say is that...I like myself now...because you...are ...you...enjoy being around me...or you did...I ...like you, so I was hoping we ...could...well, you know...what you said....
But now...you are gonna leave me alone...and I am scared..~sniff I mean...the thing that attacked me...it was a horrible creature...and ...I might be infected or something...and that is why you are leaving me because I scare you!begins to cry harder.
I am sorry it happened! I tried not to let it bite me! Now I am gonna be a monster!

Raymond runs through the door, and into the woods, wailing and crying as he goes...

OOC>>>Come on Mistral! Support the poor guy! He will be better off with you than alone...let me assure you.

(and don't get any ideas of healing him...this is gonna be a challenge for me to write!
You scared???

mistral4543 · 01-30-2002, 11:20 PM

OOC>>> Hooboy, you sure know how to tug at my heartstrings... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Oh, awright, last post for now! And that's final! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

IC>>>
Dalben

"Later... later..." ~ He begins to pant from exertion ~ "All things in good time." ~ The party makes considerable progress now, under Galadria's natural leadership.

Isaura

As she recovers from the shock of his revelations, the blood rushes to her cheeks and she shyly tilts her head upward... only to see the farmer boy dash off in apparent shame.

"Raymond!" ~ An involuntary cry escapes her parted lips, and her magnetised legs now follow his tracks ~ "I didn't know..." ~ Nearly tripping over her long skirt, she stumbles forward unsteadily ~ "That was not what you first said, remember?" ~ Gasping for air, she starts to babble, her right hand flinging her veil aside ~ "I... I'll stay by you... if you wish."

Voice now trembling, she falls silent, her body nearly exploding from the multitude of emotions assaulting her heart.

OOC>>> Okay, Larry, this time you must take over. Give me a break ~ whines ~ RL is tearing me apart !!!! [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]

Larry_OHF · 01-30-2002, 11:59 PM

Raymond and Isaura

Raymond stops running as he hears Isaura's words calling after him. Was she not afraid of him? He stops and turns to face her. She stops where she is at, close enough only to not have to shout.

"Why are you not afraid of me?"
"Whatever happens, we can be stronger together, and see our way through it...Why did you not speak similar words to me that night? Why did you wait to speak your heart's desire?"
"You know I have trouble with my speech. I am a simple person, not educated in speaking good. I have never been able to put my thoughts into words..."
"Well, you're doing a fine job now! You can do anything with practice. Come on, let's go."
"Isaura?"
"Yes, Raymond?"
"I...I..."
"I know, Raymond. I love you, too!"

The two begin to walk back toward the old farm house, hand in hand, wondering whether or not to stay one more day and help the old man on his farm as payment for his hospitality.

Larry_OHF · 01-31-2002, 12:02 AM

I know...I know...you could have made a more romantic scene...
Well..It is late here (midnight), and I am rather tired and cannot think very clearly...so..I am going to stop there and do more later.
